Tonight I made my first ever batch of chocolate chip cookies. It’s like learning how to walk all over again. I had no idea what consistency to expect and the end result would be.

But, it was a lot of fun specially when it tasted really good. Like real cookies! 🙂

So, I deeply regret not learning how to bake earlier. Well, basically, I regret not learning of electric ovens earlier. Had I known that there is such a thing I would have sold my left arm to get me one. That’s how much I wanted to learn how to bake.

And now that I have one, I will not stop baking until I have mastered the art or at least can make passable pastries.

I was sitting at home and thinking that it has been a while since I last tried out a new recipe. So, I booted up my netbook and started searching for something new when it dawned on me. I never tried cooking a Greek dish before.

And, since my father wanted fish, I looked up fish fillet dishes and found:

It’s my first time to make meatballs so I followed it to the letter. Well, except I used pork and not beef. I also added basil and chili salt to the meatball mixture and a few dashes of dried rosemary in the tomato sauce.

Served it with rice.

I love how yummy it turned out. I will definitely make this again. Maybe, serve it over a bed of spaghetti next time. 🙂

Followed the recipe almost to the letter except I don’t have lime and kaffer lime leaf. So, I used lemon and bay leaf instead.

Oh, and I used whole fish cut in half instead of fish fillet. 🙂

Tasted like authentic Thai food to me. I wanted more heat but, again, my father can no longer tolerate too much heat in food. As it turned out, he was not even able to sip the soup eventhough I fished out the chilis early on. 🙂
